"Our
Department is committed to providing a thorough understanding of
those factors that influence drug design to both pharmacy and non-pharmacy
majors
at Rutgers. The Graduate Program in Medicinal Chemistry is dedicated
to developing skilled professionals capable of capitalizing on scientific
advances as they emerge. The twenty-first century has begun with
the mapping
of the human genome. This opens unparalleled opportunities for the
development of novel drugs with ever increasing selectivity and efficacy.
Medicinal
Chemistry stands out as a discipline exquisitely poised to take advantage
of this major scientific advance."
